Warhammer Seal

Chapter 156 Ostermark Freedom Federation

Now Wende has two paths to choose from.

One is to follow Emperor Karl to the northern part of the province of Ostermark.

There will be the threat of orcs and the terrible disasters in the province of Ostermark.

The advantage is that it can save Karl a lot of time, allowing him to defeat the orcs in this province faster, and go to the Black Fire Pass to deploy defenses as quickly as possible.

And it can also establish a connection with Kislev, making a series of preparations for the subsequent Chaos invasion.

The second is to follow the great magister Gelt to Sylvania to gain a foothold, and then advance north.

This will face the counterattack of the vampires in the northern part of Sylvania, and will also be threatened by the orc army of the vampire's servants.

The advantage is that it can destroy the resurrection ceremony of the current vampire ruler Manfred as much as possible, so as to prevent the resurrection of the most powerful necromancer ever, Nagash.

Maybe it can completely wipe out the remaining vampire earl forces and create a safe rear for the empire.

After losing the vampires, Sylvania can completely support the two northern provinces and Kislev when Chaos invades.

Each choice has advantages and disadvantages, and Wende still chose to follow the former, and went to the northern province of Ostermark with Emperor Karl.

Time can't be wasted. Both the emperor and the great magister have already made their own choices. Wende also immediately completed the supplies and followed the large army all the way north.

Go all the way along the Aiwei River, across the river from the province of Steele.

The planning of the empire's elector provinces is based on the terrain. You only need to go north along the Aiwei River to reach the province of Ostermark.

With the emergence of a large dense forest and the gradual decrease of the water flow of the Aiwei River, Wende has already reached the territory of Ostermark Province.

Even if he was sitting in the tank, he couldn't help but tighten his clothes, the weather had already started to get a little cold.

It is hard to imagine how the people in the Ostermark Province live.

To the east is the World's Edge Mountains. The dwarves abandoned the Red Eye Mountain a long time ago. It has become a place for greenskins who worship vampires, and from time to time they will rush out of the mountains to plunder the town.

To the south is the notorious Sylvania, full of undead and skeletons.

To the north is Kislev, which is freezing cold. This season has begun to burn charcoal for warmth.

Fortunately, the west side is Steele Province and Talabek Province, but there is a place called Griffin Forest at the junction of the three provinces, and the degree of danger is not much different from that of Athel Loren.

The Ivy River has come to an end, and the whole army has passed through.

Wolfram Hertwig, the legendary hero is the elector of the entire province of Ostermark.

But his political situation is not much different from that of Karl Franz.

It's not that the Ostermark province has the authority of the emperor, but that the entire province is divided into dozens of free and independent city-states, each of which has its own lord.

Like the epitome of an empire, the political development of this province can almost be said to be very chaotic.

Fortunately, the locals discovered the importance of unity a long time ago when fighting green skins and vampires. Although the political structure is scattered, they like the diplomatic means of unity very much.

The female czar of Kislev in the north is a good friend of the Elector Hertwig, and Karl also has close communication with him.

Earlier, almost when Karl had just ascended to the position of emperor, the province of Ostermark signed a non-aggression treaty with the province of Rick and actively carried out trade exchanges.

And on the edge of the Ivy River, Karl and Hertwig face each other across the river.

On the opposite side of the river is the city that was once destroyed by the meteorite: Mordheim.

Needless to say, the meteorite must have fallen from the dimensional stone evil moon, which directly destroyed the city 500 years ago.

The magical fluctuations brought by the Dimension Stone made this place very easy to breed chaos and corruption. Even the Ratman who likes the Dimension Stone the most dared to dig holes far away and dare not get close to the city.

Looking at Hertwig's blood-stained robes, there was no doubt that his army had just finished fighting the Chaos Cultists and Beastmen.

Even the greatest cleric, Magnus the Pious, burned the entire city with his own hands, but could not completely cleanse the chaos and corruption around the city.

Just like the wheat every year, when the autumn harvest is completely over, Hertwig will bring the army of Baker Harbor here to find the chaos believers and beastmen that can be seen everywhere, and clean them up one by one before they grow stronger.

The Ostermarks, who have never experienced peace, have the strongest resilience and the lowest level of economic development in the entire empire.

After seeing a rich Rick guy, he would instinctively come over to curry favor.

Whether it is the girl of Ostermark or the elector of Ostermark, they all wish to get a lot of benefits from Rick.

Military access is like a girl's body, as long as the price and gift are right, it can be easily sold at will.

I saw Karl from a distance, and the elector also ran over quickly, as an apology for not voting for Karl when he was elected emperor.

Why doesn't Karl know what this old fox is thinking?

The two troubled brothers, Oster Province and Ostermark Province, have been economically No. 1 and No. 2 since the establishment of the empire, and of course they are the last ones.

Therefore, every time the emperor is elected, the goals chosen by the two electors will be different.

This can ensure that the wrong party will not be targeted by the emperor who came to power, and at the same time better help the suffering brothers and sisters.

It's just a trivial matter, and it's not worth making such a big apology for it. Karl also rode his death claw towards Hertwig to show his respect for his status as the elector.

At the same time, he also ordered his subordinates to bring two carts full of gold coins, silver coins and various supplies.

Hertwig was delighted, but at the same time smiled awkwardly, looking at the gift worth a thousand gold coins, he felt a little sorry.

"emperor."

When he spoke, he had already taken Carl to the side.

"How can I be ashamed of such a precious gift?"

Even though he said this, the guy turned his head and glared at his own guards. These soldiers immediately understood, and they all rushed forward, and moved all the gifts Karl brought to their army.

This is also a kind of political wisdom. Hertwig first attracts Karl's attention, and then delays a little bit to take all the things away first, so as to avoid the emperor's repentance.

Even if I regret it, I'm sorry, I've already got the gift, so it's not easy to take it out again, isn't it?

How could the outstanding politician Karl not know his fancy, but it doesn't matter, and he will not regret the thousand gold coins.

"Since the money has been given, you have to promise me a few small conditions."

"No problem, listen carefully, my emperor."

"One: Rick Province and Ostermark Province signed a military right of passage, and the armies of both sides can freely enter and exit each other's territory."

"Of course, your army can now come to Ostermark for a free autumn tour."

"Two: Assist the soldiers in the province of Rick to adapt to life in Ostermark, and at the same time prepare for the war with the Red-Eyed Mountain orcs."

"Our girls Nako are big and soft, and our men are tough and strong."

"Three: I will introduce a person to you, and I hope you can help him as much as you can."

After all, Karl looked behind him, waved to Wende who was sitting on the tank, and signaled him to hurry over.

"Yes, that young man, his name is Wende."

　Women in Ostermark Province are known for their impatience and passion. More than one playboy in Rick Province has seduced a girl in Ostermark (usually the girl seduced the playboy herself)
　　Of course, Mr. Rick still pays attention to his reputation. He slipped away immediately after the incident, and threw the girl naked on the prairie. Of course, he also left a money bag of a suitable size.

　　Sometimes it contains copper coins, sometimes it contains candy.

　　Of course, there are also those who pretend to be stones, but this kind of Rick guy will be laughed at by all his friends after returning to the Rick Province, and then he can't stand the pressure and condemnation in his heart, and will return to the Ostermark Province to compensate the girl.

　　But the girl may have even forgotten about it, and it can be clearly felt that the women here don't seem to be all about money.

　　"Can the men of the two northern provinces tell the difference between their wives and their cows?" - An unknown merchant in Marienburg
